Is there a more poorly made, broken piece of software than this shit?
>>106956263cry about it faggot
>>106956263Plex of worse
>>106956309is*
>>106956263sonarr
>>106956263Any Linux distro
>>106956263Yes, RetcoArch, obviously.
>>106956263Jellyfin is so shit...
>>106956263hm, now that i think about it, how hard could it be to make your own version of this with cuckgpt or something
>>106957610surely an AI slop version of the same thing would be less buggy and broken
>>106957933You don't actually believe that do you?
>>106957933Considering the absolute state of Jellyfin/Plex/Emby, a monkey smashing the keyboard would come up with a version less buggy and broken.
>>106957981>a monkey smashing the keyboard would come up with a version less buggy and broken.Do it better then.What ? You cant ? You're dumber than a monkey ?
>>106956263what are your issues with it?my only issue with it is the login systemlike bitch, my TV does not need permissions to do anything but read files
>>106958078oh, and I don't know why they insist on sorting libraries in terms of movies and showsthis is a really odd bikeshed that they decided to force upon everyone
>>106956263Yeah, Windows, MacOS and iOS
>>106956263Behold the Jellyfin experience!https://litter.catbox.moe/37juk4o3qp90t8xs.mp4All these subtitles play in sync in mpv btw.yeah, yeah i know>skill issue>works on my machinego fuck yourselves
>>106958419Damn, what did you do to your subtitle settings? Some kind of half-ass burn in?
>>106958013You dont have to be a chef to know when something tastes like absolute rotten shit
>>106958419Were there people who really enjoyed frasier?
>>106958535Couldn't get past the first season, the video was just an example, I just happened to have Frasier around.
>>106958419skill issueworks on my machine
>>106956263kodi easily
>>106958082what exactly do you mean? i have libraries that are mixed with shows and movies and never had any problems
>constant Jellyfin spam and tech support threads>my lifetime Plex Pass™ continues to just work seamlessly
>>106958757you'll pay someone to host your own media, will you pay me to fuck your wife?
>>106958755mixed libraries is actually a legacy feature that they want to drop
>>106958799oh wow thats beyond retarded
My mini pc has been running jellyfin for like a month with zero issuesWhat issues do people actually have?Btw i have no idea what i am doing and chatgpt 5 built the entire thing for me
>>106958082I set my libraries up as tv/movies/musicWhy would you ever want it mixed?
>>106958865to be fair plex never offered it in the first place
>>106958916where does The Simpsons Movie go in your library and in what order would you watch it?unless you're a total dumbass that watches everything in random order
>>106958757jellyfin is good enough in most cases. i have a lifetime pass myself but when my internet crapped out for a coule of days thanks to someone cutting the fiber line stupid plex auto signed me out and i could use the server locally. jellyfin is the right direction even if its not the perfect product
>>106958920I just check wiki and watch it at the right time
>>106958927so you choose to be massively inconvenienced instead of blaming user-unfriendly softwareDo you use GIMP and blender 2.7?
>>106958932Its not needed
>mfw anon doesn't have jellyseerr
literally what is the usecase of all those "media servers"? Can't you just host media files on a SMB share, mount it on a device and play it using your usual media player?
>>106958920Add it (or symlink it) as a special and let Jellyfin sort it based on its release date.
>>106956263yes, the offical jellyfin client!
>>106956263i have been using it daily for years and years, it just werks?you might be retarded
>>106956263Whether Jellyfin is the "worst" software is subjective, but many users find it has a more challenging setup than alternatives like Plex or Emby, particularly for features like TV guide data. However, others describe Jellyfin as stable and well-maintained, especially compared to other open-source options like Universal Media Server. Ultimately, its perceived quality depends on the user's needs and technical comfort level. Potential drawbacks:* Configuration complexity: Some users report that setting up features like TV guide data is more difficult in Jellyfin compared to Plex and Emby, which often automate this process. * Historical issues: Like any software, Jellyfin has had bugs in the past, such as vulnerabilities in older versions.* User experience: While some users find it very stable, others may find specific features frustrating compared to more commercially polished alternatives. Potential advantages:* Free and open-source: Jellyfin is entirely free to use, with no paid tiers, unlike some competitors. * Active development: It is actively maintained and developed, with a community of users who contribute to its improvement. * Stability: For many users, Jellyfin is a stable and reliable alternative to other media servers, especially those with a high degree of technical knowledge.Ultimately, while Jellyfin can be buggy and challenging to set up, it is not "the most broken" piece of software. It has a functional core and a dedicated open-source community that actively works on it. Many other software products, particularly closed-source and abandoned projects, have more severe issues, such as security vulnerabilities, critical failures, or a complete lack of support. For users who prioritize a simple, privacy-focused media server, Jellyfin's quirks are often preferable to the compromises of commercial alternatives.
>>106959079literally what is the usecase of all these "guis"?Can't you just open files through the terminal?
>>106959426>>106958895>>106958735Let me guess, all your movies/TV shows are below YIFY tier releases 100kbps average bitrate and you don't use subtitles.
>>106959079>Can't you just host media files on a SMB share, mount it on a device and play it using your usual media player?You can it's probably peak experience just mounting some distributed file system and playing the file with your video manager is what God intended. The problem is if you want to setup a library for normies (family, friends, roomate etc.) or if you use some shitty locked down device like some smart TV where this doesn't work and you only have shitty browser or maybe if you're lucky some duct taped Jellyfin client maybe by an indian.

>>106960222NTA but my stuff comes from PTP/HDB/BTN/BHD and it usually works flawlessly, or at least enough to keep my GF and my family happy. Ironically it's usually bitstarved encodes that use uncommon settings to shave off a few bytes that cause issues, high bitrate stuff like you will find in most reputable trackers is made with compatibility in mind. Then there's anime encoders, but those are more often than not semi-professional retards to begin with.Yeah, the subtitles sometimes being out of sync is annoying, but lately it's gotten much better, and worst come to worst I can just tell people to enable the burn-in setting. But if you are ever so slightly tech savvy and you care about the best possible experience (most people don't, which is fair) you can just use Kodi as client, and then everything works flawlessly.>>106960624Read your own link anon:>Closing this issue in favor of jellyfin/jellyfin-web#4346
>>106956263Never used it. Looks like a heavy, overcomplicated piece of software for what it does. I can’t stand that kind of bloat. I made a simple shell script that generates static HTML for my local library and serves it locally. It even pulls in data from a few APIs, so it’s got a decent set of features. I just got busy and forgot about it.
Main gripe is how Jellyfin expects shows with seasons to be laid out as [show]/[season n]/[episodes...], and if you don't do that, it completely fucks up everything, usually making every season look like it's season 1.
>>106961287Post script.Personally I just use nginx directory indexing with that fancyindex module, but I would really like to get some proper metadata + image poster interface and obviously transcoding.I refuse to believe these pieces of shit Jellyfin/Plex/Emby bloated bullshit software are the only way. There must be another way.
>>106956263I only use it for my hentai and jav collection and it's fine for that.
>>106956263GNOME is by far worse.
sonarr handling downloads/media management + jellyfin frontend = eternal sunshine too bad I never watch anything
>>106958419the standalone jellyfin app uses mpv for its backend. I just use that instead.
>>106958437>subtitles>half-ass burn in>ASS
Do NOT update to 10.11.0 guys... my shit's all busted
>>106959007Even plex users use this. You need FOSS to get the most out of plex anyway.
>>106956263>>106961287I'd use SMB more in an mpv file browser script, but it's embarrassingly slow to list a directory with 200 folders even after various optimizations
I've been having issues with Kodi / Jellyfin / StremioBasically what I want is the Stremio Android TV interface, but on a dedicated htpc. I don't want all this google launcher tv bullshit, just a computer that boots into stremio directly. Is this even possible? Do I have to code something myself that works with debrid?
>>106963783Have you tried NFS?
>>106959079Shitty devices don't have support codecs like VC-1 or 10bit h264
>>106959079yes i can still pretend it's 2008
>>106957603What's your setup like that's causing that? You can go on the Jellyfin hosted demo right now and see it isn't like that normally.
>>106957933>>106957981What problems are you having with it?
>>106956263yes, Windows 11
so fucking truethank you for making this postflaming piece of shit software can't even let you easily remove backdrops it wrongly applies to your entire music librarytruly a piece of flaming dog shit, the epitome of troonix faggotry
>>106956263>works on my PC>works on my apple shit>works on my android shit>works with my custom certificatesSounds like a fucking skill issue kiddo.
>>106957610>>106958013two steps ahead buddyboyo
>>106965486>look guys I made a webui!I'll make the logo.
>>106965547It's not just a gui, there is a server backend as well.
>>106958535I thought it was funny
>>106956263Plex keeps being the right option
>>106965486Do you plan on making this public anon?
>>106965749Yes, but there is a lot of work left to do. I made this during a burnout (from my actual duties) so it will take a while before it's ready for the public.
>>106961299I have 1500 series of anime slop with confusing as shit ordering (thank you monogatari) and this shit still works fine.[Monogatari tvdbid=####]/[Season 01]/[Coalgirls]_Bakemonogatari_01-...mkvIf you wanted to add movies or something in there you, You can do [Monogatari tvdbid=####]/[Movies]The only issue is you lose out on metadata fetch but it's whatever since everything it is order.
>>106959079I have a TV and no I won't have a computer with spinning fans in my living room
>Set Jellyfin up pointed at my directory of pirated anime>There's no metadata on any of this because I pirated it from nyaa I just have it in folders, which is growing up how I learned to organize things on computers>Jellyfin makes a bunch of best guesses at what stuff is and creates an abortion of a "library">Try to turn all this off and just browse by folder like Plex lets you do>Get told that it's ackshully not that hard to maintain your metadataI would like to spend 0 minutes of my adult life maintaining metadata but maybe that's because I have a crippling disability (a normal job I have to be at until 5)
>>106967727its not that hard
>>106957603they turned off hw accel by default on Linux cuz some dipshit complained it was unstable. enable hw accel with QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS.https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/issues/883#issuecomment-2859894588
I'm seeing the word "NORMAL" displayed in the top right of the UI, the playing video canvas and even in dropdown menus in jellyfin media player on windows 10. Can I turn this off or is it a bug?
>>106956263>Is there a more poorly made, broken piece of software than this shit?And stupidly named. Dont forget that
>>106967727ThisAs fulltimer poorfag pirate, metadata editing is the bane of my existenceI just browse by directory, it's simplerI don't need a fancy shitflix UI for a library consisting of media I don't plan to watch more than once a year
>>106957603>>106968861>using client instead of MPV shimWhy don't use web client at this point?
>>106967727I mean, it gets regular western shows right 99% of the time but the way anime releases are formatted tend to trip it up a lot. Using Sonarr/radarr can mitigate it, though a batch renamer and checking movedb to see how it's formatted works pretty well if you want to do it manually. What REALLY fucks with Jellyfin are specials / sub episodes (Fuck you episode 8.5 or whatever that was only on the physical releases, or those season 2/3 episode 0s that arn't technically part of the series so don't get counted in the episode count)Oddly making sure all the metadata is nice and organised tickles my autism so I just roll with it.
>>106956263Skill issue
>>106957603>watching films with subtitles in the same languageAre you deaf? Or just braindead?
>>106970774it's common strategy if you don't want to watch with sound .. I've seen a lot of people watch shit on mute.>>106968861I use the mpv shim a lot but the UI is lacking for some cases.
>>106970790>it's common strategy if you don't want to watch with sound .. I've seen a lot of people watch shit on mute.That makes little sense. I can understand having stuff running in the background if you’re alone, but why watch something without sound?
>>106970795don't ask me. I'm just reporting on what I see. I think a lot of people don't really care to properly appreciate shit, they just want pixels to glaze their eyes on their boring commute.
>>106968861>they turned off hw accel by default on Linux cuz some dipshit complained it was unstablekek#justlinuxthings
>>106967727I really wonder how people like this make themselves a toast without disembowelling themselves with the butter knife.Nigger I have a library with hundreds of animes, ~200 shows and a few thousand movies. What the fuck are you doing that you have to manually fuddle with metadata AT ALL?!
>>106971436You have some shit that you *arr stack pulled and labeled ok enough for Jellyfin not to fuck up. You don't care you just gave it a folder and said dump it all If you had actually spent the time to organize your collection, your files in a custom way that you find sane, you would see why all these tools shit the bed.
>just edit metadata manually! lol no
>>106971498>*arr stack pulledSwing and a miss.>labeled ok enough for Jellyfin not to fuck upSo you admit it's a skill issue on your end.>You don't care you just gave it a folder and said dump it allSwing and a miss.>organize your collection, your files in a custom way that you find saneMaybe you should leave the loony bin and just put movies in a folder named after the movie? Put series seasons in folders named S01, S02, S03? You know a way you find sane.Jesus fucking Christ this shithole really just is a selfhelp group for terminal contrarianism.
>>106971572Not him but I tend to organize by franchise. So my evangelion folder has a subdir for the series and a subdir for EoE movie. It's quite common to have>anime name>>S01>>movieand it makes sense, but jellyfin can't handle this structure. I don't complain though, I made my own media server which can handle it and I'm quite happy with it. It's just that jellyfin really isn't that great.
>>106958757>keep plexpass forever and it always works>have jellyfin set up and configured, run once per month to update libraries just as a backup solutionfeelsgoodman
